rabbitstew Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed they dont need to use their window wipers whilst driving the zed if it rains?! It must be a rake / angle of the front window screen, but in my car the rain hitting the windowscreen instantly beads and the force of airflow pushes the rain straight over the windowscreen, leaving it perfectly clear. It was a bit strange driving along in the pouring rain this week without having the window wipers on. Of course, once your drop your speed down around town the force of the airflow drops so its window wipers on time. I wouldnt have thought anyone has treated the window with rain-x or the like, so just wondered if anyone else had noticed this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilp Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 i use the piaa stuff and the piaa wipers. The wipers coat the window in a silicone film which helps this. you need to be going over 40 mph usually for it to be effective Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZedMeister Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 I for one and too scared to push the Zed hard enough in the rain to get any substantial airflow over the bonnet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMR Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Sounds like you have RainX or similar on to be honest, or PIAA wipers as Neil suggested.. I have Rain X on mine and the effects are exactly what your describing.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bronzee Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Rain-X usually lasts for a reasonable period of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
